"TONE continually pushes boundaries for a better world, one brew at a time."
Conventional brewers keep a boiler hot all day, whether you're brewing or not. TONE doesn't have one. Here's exactly what that means for your bottom line.
The Touch 03 and Touch 04 aren't just better brewers — they're a different financial model for your beverage operation.
Boilerless technology draws power only when brewing. In a 10-hour operating day, that's a fraction of what a conventional machine consumes standing idle between orders.
Hot coffee, cold brew, iced drinks, specialty teas — from a single unit. New menu categories with no new equipment budget.
No boiler means no boiler failures, no emergency callouts. The brew basket is dishwasher-safe. Maintenance becomes routine, not reactive.
Every recipe — temperature, flow, pulse pattern — locked in and adjustable remotely via the TONE app. Your best cup is repeatable, everywhere, every time.
Select your venue type. Figures are illustrative based on typical operating assumptions — your actual results will vary.
"We run the machine from open to close whether it's busy or not. The energy bill is one of our biggest fixed costs — and any downtime kills a morning's revenue."

A single café running a conventional brewer spends over €12,000/year just keeping a boiler at temperature. With TONE, that drops to €1,242 — while the same machine enables cold brew and specialty teas a conventional brewer can't produce. Most independent cafés see payback before their second monthly energy bill arrives.
"We run breakfast service for 200 guests in 90 minutes. Consistency matters as much as throughput — every equipment failure during service is a guest complaint."
1 property · Touch 04 · 200 covers/day · 6h F&B operation · €0.30/kWh
Remote recipe management means F&B directors control standards across properties centrally — no site visits required.
Hotels run beverage equipment hard during peak service and leave it idling the rest of the day. TONE's on-demand heating eliminates that idle cost entirely. The Touch 04's 4L batch capacity handles breakfast service, while the same machine enables a premium cold brew offering in the lobby bar — no second unit needed.
"Equipment that's hard to operate costs us barista hours. Machines sitting idle between rush periods across shared kitchens are a hidden energy drain at every site."
5 locations · Touch 03 · 80 cups/day each · 8h/day · €0.30/kWh
TONE Beverage Manager updates recipes across all 5 sites simultaneously — no travel, no downtime.
Office catering equipment spends most of its day waiting. A TONE fleet of 5 machines saves over €44,000/year in energy alone — before accounting for time saved on site-by-site recipe updates and maintenance callouts. One app. Five sites. One standard.
"Brand consistency is non-negotiable. But retraining staff for every seasonal menu across 20 locations is expensive and slow. Equipment downtime at any site hurts the whole brand."
20 locations · Touch 03 + 04 · 150 cups/day each · 12h/day · €0.30/kWh
Remote real-time recipe deployment — a new seasonal menu live across all 20 sites simultaneously. Zero field visits.
For a 20-location chain, TONE is an operational transformation. Energy savings alone exceed €178,000 annually. Remote recipe deployment turns a multi-week seasonal relaunch into a single app update. And the boilerless design removes the most common source of unplanned downtime from your operation entirely.
A standard commercial brewer runs its heating element all day to hold a boiler at temperature. TONE's boilerless system draws power only during the brew cycle — reaching 94°C in 2 seconds from cold.
You pay for heat when you need it, and nothing when you don't. Over a 10-hour operating day, that difference is roughly 310 kWh — every single day.

TONE doesn't just replace your brewer — it expands what your menu can offer. Each new category is incremental revenue with no additional equipment cost.
Cold beverages are the fastest-growing segment in specialty coffee. With TONE, you can enter that category today — without buying a second machine.
